Rule of Three

Tumblr Troubles

Apologies for the confusion! You may have noticed Rule of Three is looking a little different today. That’s because Tumblr is keeping me on my toes and throwing a few obstacles in my way. Pay no mind, I’ll keep posting and wrestling with Tumblr, and we’ll just chalk it up to the Mercury retrograde, okay? :)

Introducing Street Manifesto

Street style. It began with Bill Cunningham and his much loved On the Street column in the New York Times. Then came Scott Schuman, and a cult following on The Sartorialist. These days, there’s no shortage of street style bloggers and photographers, looking to capture candid moments of fashion on city streets in almost every major city on the planet. But it takes a special eye to deliver these photos in a way that makes us stop, take notice, and say, “Damn, that style is fierce.”

That unique perspective is definitely present in Street Manifesto, the new street style Tumblr blog from Toronto-based photographer (and hubby to my friend Amber), Mauricio Calero. Here is a selection of some of my favourite shots. If you’re a street style junkie, it’s definitely a site worth bookmarking.

New Posts on Beyoncé’s Tumblr

Something about Beyoncé’s Tumblr pics make me feel like I’m just flipping through a friend’s latest album on Facebook. Adorable! Mind you, most of my friends don’t rock chinchilla, while riding their beat up bike on a deserted road in the middle of the night, with a camera following them. But let’s just chalk that up to artistic license and better storylines.

Rich Kids of Instagram

Champagne, private planes, and dudes on boats.
Three reasons you should follow Rich Kids of Instagram.
And yes, it’s as obnoxious as it sounds.

Tumblr welcomes Beyoncé!

Beyoncé started a Tumblr! It appears to be a collection of photographs from her life and her tours. Some super candid. Some super luxe (is that gold leaf on her cherries??). And some showing off that gigantic diamond ring. Super beautiful all around. Explore more here and check out these three faves…

This Tumblr Blog Strikes the Right Note

Part of my job is scouring the internet for the creative inspiration - things that will spark a concept or an idea for a new project, a new post or just a new way of thinking about an old problem. (Did I mention I ♥ my job?) These days there is no shortage of places to look. Using Pinterest, Twitter links, Facebook posts, news feeds, or any number of blogs, you can find hidden gems almost anywhere, but it’s a bonus when you come across a site that aggregates the overwhelming amount of internet “stuff”, as is the case with A Note on Design.

This blog from DISC Interiors (which appears to be an LA-based interior design company), posts a seemingly endless feed of beautiful images – mostly of places I want to live, but also of the occasional fabulous fashion item or inspiring quote. I could explore it for hours, but I have serious “work” to get to ;)

Stripping Away Excess

Hipster Branding is a new Tumblr blog from Swiss designer Dave Spengeler, giving popular brand logos a facelift, ‘hipster’ style. Reduced to simple black, these logos suddenly seem so fresh.

Here are three of my faves. See the full lineup at hipsterbranding.tumblr.com

Culture Club

Culture Club, from Club Monaco, is another Tumblr page that I scour on an almost-daily basis for interest and inspiration. Images are posted regularly, and organized by month, with bite-size write-ups. Here are a few things that have caught my eye recently. Check it out for yourself, it may become your new morning ritual too.
